Aria Furchtsam weinen, ängstlich schweigen, wenn sich Donnerwolken zeigen, ist des Pöbels Eigenschaft. Feige Seelen martern sich durch ein niederträchtigs Zagen; aber wen die Grossmut stürzt, den kann nichts zu Boden tragen, den erhebt der Fall von aon aussen durch die innerliche Kraft. Recitative Ein Mann, der Raum im Herzen hat, wird von der Not gebeugt, doch niemals ganz zerbrochen; er hält sein Osterfest oft mitten in der Martewochen; er murret nicht, wenn sich das Schicksal grausam stellt. Warum? Er kennt den Unbestand des Glückes in der Welt. Aria Der Himmel führt die Seinen oft durch Schmerzen und Kummer, durch dünne, durch dicke. Bald zerrt aus sein Eifer die Treppen hinab, bald reicht uns die Hoffnung den tröstlichen Stab und lenkt uns und zieht uns die Stufen zurücke.

Aria: Piangere di spavento, silenzio angoscioso, quando si mostrano nubi di tempesta, è da codardi. Le anime vili si tormentano per paure meschine; ma chi è sorretto da un'anima grande, nulla può prostrarlo al suolo, ma dalla caduta si solleva con la forza interiore. Recitativo: Un uomo dal cuore grande, sarà piegato dal dolore, ma mai spezzato; celebra la sua più grande festa nei giorni dei martiri; non si lamenta se il destino gli è avverso. Perché? Egli sa che la fortuna è incerta a questo mondo. Aria: Il cielo guida i suoi attraverso dolori e difficoltà, attraverso alti e bassi. Se il suo zelo ci porta via la scala, subito la speranza ci porge il bastone del conforto e ci sostiene e guida i nostri passi.
